Anyway, if we really want to reinvent Chinese with emoji hieroglyphs, than I'd rather go for 🛹🏘️ or 🫁
My rather long (sic) family name Langsdorf translates to long-s-village (sic-sic) or more directly "long-s-thorp"
German tends to introduce "s" as a connector in compound words (compare Saint PeterSburg°).
Hence the first half ends on "GS" which is almost homophone to "X", and capital X was stylish in the age of LaTeX and Linux and Unix.
So LanX is pronounced like "lungs" with an "angry voice" aka standard German accent.
